No public OTA update is expected at this time. You will have to update using one of the methods in post #2, or wait for the "real" official update and OTA updating ability (date unknown).

that stinks lol if i were to down load it and do the rename to update and put it on my memory card will it wipe out my phone like it was new or will it update the os and all will still be there... I am new to android but i still have my Sprint Pre Plus haha :P

I did this manual update too...no problems at all, everything was there including my LauncherPro Plus icons and screen setup.

It shouldn't wipe your data. I've used this method quite a few times in the past because I was too impatient to wait for an OTA and everything stayed just the way it was prior to updating. I can't say you WON'T have any problems because you never truly know, but mine always went off without a hitch.

Thanks Guys you have been a big help this really is a great community... I am sure i will have to re-root after the update with z4root I guess it will still work I hope so anyways :P Thanks again guys...

Our pleasure Royce. Be sure to check back with us and let us know how everything went. As for z4root, you should be fine there as well. It works on other 2.2 devices so there shouldn't be any reason why it won't work here.

Well I was getting errors when i tried to update and found out that the old One Click Root 2.2.5 has conflicts with this update (modified system/bin/playlogo) so I removed it and the update worked fine.

That being said for some reason now everything is seriously laggy, the status bar takes about 5 seconds to show after I try to pull it down, haptic feedback is broken and root wont install. I'm going to try resetting it and see how it behaves once I get everything back up and running.

There's a pre-rooted, zip-aligned stock version floating around from ACS on XDA

I was not rooted before the upgrade and still am not. My root today and play since I am getting a replacement phone delivered on Monday. I dropped and put a crack, top to bottom on the screen. Sucks real bad.

This is a good option, but be aware that you do need to have Clockwork installed.

As of 9 am I've gone from 16% to 22%....which is definitely not normal.

Going to turn it off and let it charge without the phone being one to see if there's a significant improvement.

WiFi on Froyo seems to like eating battery while the screen is off. Try either turning WiFi off during times like this, or go to Settings>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings>tap menu button>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>After 15 minites

Do I need to unroot to update? I saw conflict listed above on different method. Or if I do update, will it stay rooted?

Would love to play, but really want the wireless tether to entertain kids on trip.

iirc ACS said Wireless Tether is not working on straight Froyo - you may need a custom ROM version of it.

I've rooted my phone (and like an *****) deleted the default Sprint apps, so is there an update option for me without re-imaging stock 2.1? Is there a .zip somewhere containing the default sprint apps so I can just install them and then update?

I'm not sure how this method would work with missing pre-installed apps. I know OTA updates completely fail, so if this update in any way checks for configuration before installing it could go haywire. Ragnarokx might be able to clarify this, though.
